the taliban denies recruiting children as suicide bombers. the facts tell a very different story. authorities say just a few days ago a 10-year-old orphan boy managed to escape from insurgents who were going to make him wear a suicide vest so he could blow himself up in front of coalition troops. rujallah has a 4-year-old son who he says he loves and misses very much. when i asked him how he'd feel if his child was used as a suicide bomber, he tells me -- "if he wants to be a suicide bomber when he gets older, well, then, no one can stop him. if he follows islam and does it for islam, then that's a good thing." at times he speaks with hatred in his eyes, and then there are moments when he smiles explaining this is all a test from god. "our real life starts after doomsday, so this is not our real life. this world is a paradise for pagans and a hell for muslims. we just need to be patient." the afghan intelligence service and armed forces say they have foiled dozens of attacks in recent months. and while that's an encouraging sign, rujallah says there are thousands of others just li

the taliban's gains on the battlefield have been reversed. they have been unable to regain any of the territory they have lost. violence levels in populated areas have decreased significantly. al qaeda has been denied safe haven, and its leadership has been decimated. afghan security forces have become more capable and expanded dramatically, growing from roughly 150,000 in november 2008 to more than 330,000 today, with the goal of going to 352,000 very soon. most notably, we have begun the transition to afghan security and responsibility. we have moved decisively toward afghanistan that can secure and govern itself, and that is the fundamental mission that we have sought to accomplish. with the announcement of the third tranche of transition earlier this year, more than 75% of the afghan population lives in areas that are undergoing the transition process. under the leadership of general allen, nato agreed in chicago to a plan that he designed that has been put in place, and we remain very much on track with that plan. i think there is strong
